What We Do

CRY has many ambitious projects to enable it to provide the support and research to help save young lives.  Its programme of activities strives to prevent these tragedies through:

-  Our National Screening Programme

-  Developing the CRY Centre for Inherited Cardiovascular Conditions and Sports Cardiology

-  Raising awareness of the risk of undetected cardiac conditions in young people

 

CRY also supports young people diagnosed with life-threatening cardiac conditions through:

-  the myheart Network

 

and those affected by young sudden cardiac death by:

-  Offering a fast-track expert cardiac pathology service through the CRY Centre for Cardiac Pathology

-  Providing a Bereavement Support Service to help those who have suffered a loss

-  Providing information and literature free of charge

 

Volunteer

 Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY). We recognise the valuable contribution each individual makes, and without volunteers some of our services and events could not be offered.

Our aim is to make sure you have a rewarding experience volunteering with CRY and have the opportunity to meet new challenges, develop your skills, gain a great sense of achievement, and contribute towards CRY’s aim of saving young lives.

We have many volunteering opportunities including:

• Help and support in the CRY office with many important tasks
• Providing skills and expertise to ensure CRY is offering the best service it can
• Support at CRY fundraising and support events to ensure the events can take part (eg: marshalling, photography, support at the venues)
• Raising awareness in local communities - it is so very important to CRY that awareness is raised with the whole of the UK and this can only be possible with the help of our supporters
• Using social media to help promote CRY's efforts to your own followers
